Frogs in Madagascar well

Inside the stone well we found in Tsingy Madagascar were these two small frogs. They'd better stay in the well because outside of it awaits a cat-eyed snake.

    Here's the snake:

    Malagasy Cat-eyed Snake (night snake) at well in Tsingy, Madagascar Right at the start of our night tour in Tsingy, Madagascar we found this Cat-eyed snake stationed at the edge of a stone well. This snake is fairly common in Madagascar and hunts for rodents and chameleons. Like all snakes in Madagascar, this snake is not dangerous to humans. It has venom but it is so weak that it will not even kill a rodent. The snake therefore uses a combination of venom and constriction.
